Yesterday was such a beautiful and sunny day here in Southern British Columbia! We have been so blessed to have such a beautiful July and I hope this amazing weather continues through August as well! When the weather is this warm, we usually wait until later in the evening to walk the dog so he doesn't get overheated (and maybe so we don't get overheated too!!). After we went for our dog walk, I was craving something cold and creamy... something that was refreshing but could also substitute as dessert. After a quick check of what I had on hand, I came up with the idea for a Nutella Banana Smoothie! It is mostly dairy-free except for the small amount of dairy in the Nutella. You could substitute one of the dairy free nut butters or spreads for a truly dairy free beverage though (note I haven't tested this option though, so I'm not sure how it will taste).

Nutella Banana SmoothieRecipe by A Tale of One Foodies Culinary AdventuresIngredients:

1 banana

2 tbsp. Nutella

6-8 ice cubes (add more if your smoothie isn't thick enough)

1/4 cup coconut milk

1/4 cup almond milk (or more if your smoothie is too thick)

Method:

Combine banana, Nutella, coconut milk and almond milk in blender. Blend until smooth. Add ice cubes to blender a few cubes at a time blending until smoothie reaches desired thickness. Top with dairy free whipped topping if desired & enjoy!

I love how quickly this smoothie came together and it literally tasted like a decadent milkshake! I can tell this is going to become a regular beverage in our house. What is your favorite kind of smoothie to make? Feel free to share your favorite recipe or flavour in the comments below!

About Me

I love cooking & baking. In my spare time I find I'm always experimenting in the kitchen. My experiments don't always turn out, but most of the time they're edible. These adventures in my kitchen bring me great joy when friends and family enjoy what I've created... hence the reason I keep experimenting!

My favorite way to unwind is with a great book and a glass of wine (preferably a new wine I've never tasted - I tend not to buy the same bottle of wine twice)!
